You start at (2, 1). You move right 8 units and down 1 unit. Where do you end?

Movement upwards or downwards along the y axis, left or right along the x axis is known as translation. The initial position is (2, 1) it means that the x coordinate is 2 and the y coordinate is 1.

If we move 8 units towards the right, it would be along the x axis. the new x coordinate would be 2 + 8 = 10

If we move 1 unit downwards, it would be along the y axis. the new y coordinate would be 1 - 1 = 0

The end point would be (10, 0)
